I never realised until reading your message that there was a gconcat,
but, sure enough, it's there (and geom_concat). :-)

My main reason for mentioning gstripe as an alternative to ccd is that
it seems to be more recently and actively maintained, and hence less
likely to suffer from the kinds of legacy issues that have been
discussed.
